Linux for a writer, running on a Pentium II

> **Possible Duplicate:** > [Linux for low-end hardware and internet browsing](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2059/linux-for-low-end-hardware-and-internet-browsing) My dad has a rather old computer that's just sitting there that I want to repurpose. Now I know could probably get a Pentium 4 very cheap but where's the fun in that? What I'm after is something that's simple to use that will run on a Pentium II or III (I can't remember) with 4GB of HDD space and probably about 512MB of RAM. What can I install on this to make it work?
